Rita Skeeter simply loved clothes. She found it easier to conduct interviews with gentlemen wearing fishnets and plunging dresses than boring pantsuits and sensible heels. Men gave her the risqué answers she sought when paying more attention to her chest than the questions. It gave her an excuse to fill her closet to the brim with the kind of clothing that others tutted at seeing her on the street but secretly admired her for daring to wear such an outfit. Other reporters might have found the extra attention alarming, but Rita took it in stride, a part of the job.
